TO BUILD A TIGER: WORK THE NUMBERS
Above photo shows lowering of the turret onto the hull this was done near the end of the production line.
About 300,000 man-hours were needed to build one Tiger. Thats one week, of hard work by 6,000 people to make it possible.
NO POWER TO THE PEOPLE:
Another way to look at it in terms of the
Reichmark, RM final cost of one Tiger with all support equipment and Government supplied
equipment as well 800,000RMs equivalent to the weekly wages of 30,000 people.
The added cost of owning a Tiger those that went back for major overhaul, others that were write-off, tanks that could be salvaged
rebuilt. But this is my guess.

ALL MOST OUT THE DOOR:
Installing the turret and looks like the Tiger has been painted, the color could be
dark yellow. One of the 1,347 Tiger tanks buitl, did it survive the war?, or was it destroyed in combat.
Several Tigers were built a day, much of the
equipment installed was sub-contracted, but
Henschel built most of the major components
like the hull, turrets.
